Title: "Reconstruction of nonlinear systems with delay lines and feedforward 
networks" 
Author:  David L. Elliott, ISR,  Univ. of Maryland, College Park

Abstract: Nonlinear system theory ideas have led to a method for approximating
the dynamics of a nonlinear system in a bounded region of its state space, by
training a feedforward neural network which is then reconfigured in recursive
mode to provide a stand-alone simulator of the original system. The input
layer of the neural network contains time-delayed samples of one or more system
outputs and control inputs. Autonomous systems can also be simulated in this
way by providing impulse inputs.

My apology for the 0.9M filesize-- the paper is only 5 pages, but assembling
diverse PS text and figures was inefficient. Printing time is short, however.
Criticisms and comments will be especially helpful if sent before June 1,
and will be very welcome.
